Don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet but Kento Miyahara vs. The Bodyguard from the AJPW Junior Battle Glory Finals this year was stellar. I'm not crazy about The Bodyguard (is anyone, really?) but he really brought his A Game here to work his hometown of Osaka in this match with Kento. Part of its appeal is definitely that we're starting to hit that stretch of the Kento Miyahara title run where you know him losing the title is actually coming sooner rather than later and it adds a whole new level of drama to hismatches. Not that I thought they were taking the title off someone who's clearly positioned as their new ace just to put it on Bodyguard, but there's always that lingering doubt in your mind during every nearfall that just ramps up the drama.

the Kento/Bodyguard match is real good. Kento is the best ace going today.

HM: American Alpha vs. The Usos, Smackdown Live 3/21/17 A good high energy match with excellent spots that felt like it could've gone either way right until the end. Shame that this wasn't on the Wrestlemania card but The Club vs. Sheamus & Cesaro vs. Enzo & Cass is, and will not be anywhere near that good.

Cien vs Roddy on the opening of this week's NXT was a fantastic match. Nice to see the midcard can still put on a great show.

From Dragon Gate's Championship Gate Night 2 show on 3/5. HM: Cyber Kong vs YAMATO - Open the Dream Gate Championship I was kind of dreading this match because it's a Cyber Kong singles match and his last Dream Gate match was a horrible disaster, but this was proof that a decent build can add a lot to a match. Since the beginning of the year, a lot of people in Dragon Gate have had to take time off due to injury so DG decided to work it into a story by saying Kong had injured them. They also added a worked injury angle where Kong injured YAMATO's throat in a tag match leading up to the show. Anyways, they managed to get a lot of heat with Kong repeatedly going after YAMATO's throat early in the match, and they did a pretty god job of building a story with YAMATO getting back into the match with his technical skill and getting pissed at Kong going after the throat, and the finish was pretty exciting with Kong voluntarily removing his mask and breaking out Black Mist only to be defeated by a last ditch desperate sleeper hold. A surprise on all fronts.

Watched the rest of Dragon Gate's Championship Gate show. Really great show with lots of great matches, helped by the crowd being hot throughout both nights. From Night 1 on 3/4 HM: El Lindaman vs. Eita - Open the Brave Gate Championship Excellent match hampered by a dq finish but the post match shenanigans of everyone beating up everyone else was pretty fun. From Night 2 on 3/5 MOTYC: North Tribe (BxB Hulk and Kzy) vs. CK-1 (CIMA and Dragon Kid) - Open the Twin Gate Championship Even though I knew the outcome before hand I bought into some of the false finishes so obviously this match was doing something right. Loved the "just barely won, could have gone either way at the end" finish. Best match of a very good set of shows.

Marty always looks great when WWE brings him back for a stint or a single match. I heard a few years back that DDP had gotten a hold of him, is he clean now or what?
